Award-Winning Canadian Roots Rocker Cory M. Coons Premieres New Single And Video

The Ottawa-based singer-songwriter’s latest release is from his Ron Nevison-produced album “The Long Road Home.”

It’s basically a song about being wrapped up in a relationship of sorts with someone, and having them in your head for a while, with the hopes that maybe there might be a rekindling of a spark.”
